  • WHY, Condensation on interior walls?

    Hi, my house is about 40 yrs. old, and is in Northern Ind. So we get a little cold weather now and then. My problem is when the weather gets cold I get condensation on my "interior" outside walls. I recentally found out that the soffits were filled with insalation. So I cleaned that out.There were not enough vent holes in the soffits, so I made a few more. I have hot water base board heat, so is it that when the heat raises,"which I keep at 60degrees" and meets the ceiling thats why it drips. But it only drips after the sun goes down, and it gets colder. This only happens in the bitter winter.Please give me some advice as to HOW to solve my Drips???

    Sounds like there may not be any insulation in the exterior walls. Find a place that you can core into and check that first.

      I have hot water heat and do not have a filter of any kind anywhere!

        I will try the coring on the walls to see, because I am not sure if there is any insulation in my walls!

          Blue,

          The "have you changed your filter" is just a quote that is attached to my signature line, not intended to be a true question, just a reminder for those that do forget.
